The €50,000 purchase price becomes roughly €254,600 after estimating a full restoration, or about €1,369/m² versus €300/m² for comparable local stock. The mountain setting and tourism potential help, but the five-level property needs integral renovation and the listing does not confirm permits, habitability, or conversion feasibility.
More on the house and the area
This is a highly atmospheric historic Alpine farmhouse, with weathered timber galleries, stonework and a distinctive traditional village setting in Val di Sole. However, the gallery shows a barn-like shell rather than a livable home: interiors are full of debris, floors and timber structures appear compromised, and there is no bathroom or finished accommodation. It has strong restoration character, but the €50,000 price reflects a major project rather than a ready dream home.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€74,000 – €109,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Complete renovation required, including structural timber, floors and roof elements.
- No bathroom or usable living spaces are shown; the interior is currently a cluttered agricultural/storage shell.
- Mountain views are only glimpsed between surrounding buildings, and the steep cobbled-borgo access may complicate construction work.
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
The area around
Location score 72/100Malè sits in Val di Sole, an alpine valley in Trentino. The Noce river runs through the valley and is a venue for white-water rafting and international canoeing competitions. The valley is framed by high mountains: the Adamello‑Presanella group to the west and the Brenta Dolomites to the east. Upper Val di Sole contains ski territory and extensive mountain trails; larger ski complexes in the wider area include Folgarida–Marilleva, Madonna di Campiglio and Passo del Tonale, with lifts reached by road (roughly 20–50+ km). The nearest sizable city is Trento (about 60 km) which provides regional rail connections and provincial services. The local economy mixes seasonal mountain tourism, outdoor-sports operators and alpine agriculture (orchards, dairy).
